Description

While we await word from Huln, another matter of importance has arisen.

Bwonsamdi has returned to Ardenweald. Lord Herne believes he is here to request an audience with the Winter Queen.

The loa of death, however, pursues a different purpose. One that I have glimpsed in my dreams.

Meet with Bwonsamdi. Discover what fate has in store for the both of you.

This part of the Night Fae renown campaign ends up in the Maw.

DO IT BEFORE YOU DO YOUR MAW DAILIES! It will be impossible to complete if you have high stacks of Eye of the Jailer.

So if, like me, you were in the Maw for a while on the same day as starting this quest chain, you will have to wait until the next day.

Very annoying and arbitrary time gating.

He's outside. From the inside of the Heart of the Forest enclave, take the 3:00 o'clock exit (East Exit) shown on the map. Stop at the end of the ramp where it meets the cobblestone open area. Look to your left. You'll see the large renown quest marker over the head of [npc=165951].

Coords: 48.3, 52.5

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
